The sentence is "...attualmente infermo, si è sgravata..."."Infermo"="ill" is referred to the father, who could not declare the birth. "Si è sgravata" is referred to the mother and means "gave birth" (from "gravida"="pregnant", with the same origin from "grave"="weight", literally "set herself free from a weight")

PippoThanks for clarifying the meaning for us. I kept thinking yesterday that the letter s was in the front of the word gravata, but I couldn't find a definition of the word which made sense to me. When I looked at the record again late last night, I even thought that the word infermo was masculine, and not feminine as in inferma, and might be referring to the father. I almost edited my post last night, but then decided to leave it alone hoping that someone else would see it and change it. Great job!Erudita
